Krupp, The Maker.

BERLIN, July Is. - Friedrich
Krupp, the well-known German metal
founder and gigantic steel gun manu-
facturer, died to-day in his villa near
Essen, Rhenish Prussia. The eno--
nous mandatory at Essen was es-
tablished by his father in 1927. At
first the elder Krupp had only two
workmen and the works were con-
Quoted on the most limited scale, but
under the supervision of the son, who
was born at Essen in 1912, they
gradually attained their present colos-
sal proportions. Friedrich Krupp
was the discoverer of the method of
casting steel in very large masses
He sent to the London Exhibition of
1851 a block weighing fifty German
quintals, which was regarded as q
marvel, but he has since cast q block
weighing more than four thousand
quintals. Herr Krupp manufactured
large number of articles used for
peaceful purposes, but his name is
more particularly associated with the
gigantic steel siege guns which the
Germans used with such terrible effect
against the city of Paris.
The steel works at Essen are the
largest in the world. They cover
nearly five hundred acres and employ
seven thousand men. Two hundred
and forty steam engines. with q
power Of $500 horses, are continually
running. There are fifty steam ham
mers and two hundred and forty fur
naces, which consume eighty thous
and tons of coal year. Krupp was
at one time offered letters of nobility
by the King Of Prussia, but declined
the honor.

"A picnic party went to McCon-
nell's Mills, on Slipperyrock Greek.
Friday of last week in AL. Garvin's
band wagon. Among those compos-
ing the picnic party was ex-Sheriff
VIM. f. Douds, of this city. When
they arrived at the creek the horses
were turned l-oe to Craze. One of
the animals got into an excavation at
the mouth of an abandoned oil we'll,
and fearing that it might be injured,
Sheriff Douds ran to some of the
party and told them the condition of
the animal. 1t is evident that the
Sheriff over-leated himself by the ex-
ertion, for when he attempted, with
others, to haul the horse out, he was
completely overcome and fell uncon-
scious. Fortunately DR.. Wilson, of
Portersville, was near at hand, as
also was a quantity of ice. The DIR.
administered restoratiyes aud sue
ceeded in restoring Sheriff Douds to
consciousness Soon afterW ards,
however, he suffered relapse He
was again restored and brought to
his home in this city. He had recov-
cred sufficiently by Sunday evening
to be out of the house again. Gar
wins horse, for which $500 was re-
fused last week, struggled in the pit
in which it had fallen until it disem-
boweled itself on snag, and it be-
came necessary to shoot it where it
lay.-New Castle Guardian.

The Ohio Democracy.

The Ohio Democrats appear in a
new role At the convention just
held they, adopted resolution de-
claring that "a proper regulation OF
the liquor traffic is necessary, and
that they believe it to be the duty OF
all good citizens to aid in reducing
to minimum the evils resulting
therefrom, and to this end favor the
submission of an amendment to the
Constitution prohibiting the license
of such traffic" This is substantially
the same declaration, word for word,
made by the Republicans Of Penn
sylvania last year, and is in direct
opposition to the heretofore policy OF
Democracy on the whole subject ol
what they choose to call sumptuary
laws. But this change OF front by
Ohio Democrats is not unusual. la
fact, change of front to suit the cir
cumstauces is q sign Of the true
Democrat. III it's struggle for power
during the past ten or twenty years
the party has been on all sides OF
every political question that has
vexed the public or puzzled politicians,
but now that it is found endorsing
temperance and falling into the rear
of the procession of moral reform,
some of the old Bourbons will have
no little difficulty in keeping step to
the music.-Er.

Senator John Sherman is showing
vast deal more eagerness to be
made President of the United States,
a year in advance of the usual time,
than seems consistent with the dig
nity heretofore observed in reaching
out after that high office. The office
in this instance does not seem to be
on the hunt for the man; it is the
man hunting after the office. 1t is
hard to see why he is so intent upon
having an endorsement of his Presi-
Dental aspirations by the State Con-
vention of Ohio now, when such ac-
ton will not have the slightest bind
ing effect .pon the delegates to be
chosen next year 1t will but afford
in the interim better chance for bis
enemies to concentrate the fire wholly
upon him and give to those now
nominally for him more time in which
to discard the old love and on with
the new.-BeoUer Times.

Politics Among the Indians.

Politically speaking the Aborigines
know thing or two about the ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain.
A red hot political campaign among
the Cherokees is now in progress.
The election for President or Govern
or of that people takes place in the
present year, and the campaign meth
DDS are strikenly similar to those
which prevail elsewhere on like oc-
casions. For the past four years Mr..
Bushyhead has held the position of
chief of the Cherokees-not, however,
with the full consent or to the entire
satisfaction even of his own party,
whice is the Bourbon or aristocratic
party of the Nation. A certain Mr..
Rabbit Bunch, magnetic" politi-
clan has accused Gov. Bushyhead of
ruling by "ring" methods and other
high crimes and misdemeanors. Mr..
Rabbit Bunch has presented himself
for the nomination of the Bourbon
party as reform" candidate and a
champion of political purity. He has
succeeded in impressing the party
with the loftiness of his motives and
in obtaining the nomination, though
it is asserted that liberal distribu-
tion of wampum and promises helped
him very materially. During the
canvass personal encounters are fire.
quent and sometimes fatal, and bar
becues and free drinks are the order
of the day.
Gov. Bushybead seems to be a II. an
of considerable magnanimity. AL
though defeated for the nomination
he refuses to quit the party and has
given his adhesion to the decision of
the convention. He is now support
ing MIR. Rabbit Bunch against the
Half-Breed or Radical party, which is
headed by j. B. Mayes, a lawyer
and astute politician.
The negro vote looms darkly in the
background as an uncertain quantity,
and is being canvassed with much as
siduity by both sides, and the air OF
the Indian Territory. is thick with
campaign lies and canards. If the
Cherokees have anything to learn in
the matter of politics we should be
glad to hear it mentioned.-Ec.

The Yellowstone National Park

EDS. CITIZEN:

Will you please give space in your
valuable paper for notice of an an
niversary which took place at the
house of Mrs. Nancy NJ. Campbell,
near Concord Church, July 8, 1887.
1t was given in honor of Miss Mar
tba Campbell, the only surviving
daughter of Robert Campbell, it be-
lug her 10th birthday. Friends and
neighbors concluded to give her a
very pleasant surprise, and although
the morning was wet, by ten O'Clock
quite a respectable audience had
gathered in with their baskets well
filled with the good things that are
common at such places. A table was
spread in the orchard near by and d
sumptuous dinner was partaken of by
about two hundred people (more or
less). After dinner the meeting was
called to order by electing Linn
Christie, Chairman and X A. Kinzer,
Sec'y. Samuel Russell led in prayer
and d. j. Russell, one of our oldest
citizens, was called upon and made a
very appropriate address. The friends
and neighbors having raised purse
of money and brought with them nu-
merous presents, Capt. John G..
Christie was called upon to address
the meeting and present the presents
to Miss Campbell, which he did in a
very excellent manner. Mr.. Christie
gave brief history of the Campbell
family from the earliest settlement of
this section OF the county down to
the present time, and spoke in the
highest terms OF Miss Campbell, as
being very worthy person to bestow
such honors upon. Josiah Campbell,
in few well chosen remarks, thank
ed the people for the kindness shown
to his sister.
The whole proceeding was inter-
spersed with very excellent music by
the young people. The meeting ad-
journed by singing the long meter
doxology and all returned to their
homes feeling that it was good to be
there X. A. K.

The Temperature Causes Eggs
to Hatch.

INDIANoPoLIs, July 2l,-A novel
sight was witnessed here Tuesday as
the result of the high temperature of
past three weeks. Some time ago a
firm received consignment of eggs
packed in boxes after the usual man.
ner. The eggs were placed in stor-
age, and yesterday morning the con-
signee had occasion to open the cases.
When the lid was removed the low
call of chicks sounded in his ears.
One entire layer of eggs wele found
to be hatching out, and in few min.
utes after the eggs were brought to
light fifteen well-developed orphans
picked their way through the shells.
Another layer of eggs began to hatch
out about noon and it now looks as
though the entire consignment will
hatch.
The above would seem to confirm
a similar case of the kind happening
on the farm of Mr.. English, of this
county, as reported in the CITIZEN
last week.
